Palmer Penguins
Palmer penguins is a data set provided by Allison Horst (https://github.com/allisonhorst/palmerpenguins/). The
goal of the package is to provide an alternative data set for data
exploration & visualization as an alternative to the infamous
iris data set.
Here is what the first 5 rows of the data looks like.
| species | island | bill_length_mm | bill_depth_mm | flipper_length_mm | body_mass_g | sex | year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adelie | Torgersen | 39.1 | 18.7 | 181 | 3750 | male | 2007 |
| Adelie | Torgersen | 39.5 | 17.4 | 186 | 3800 | female | 2007 |
| Adelie | Torgersen | 40.3 | 18.0 | 195 | 3250 | female | 2007 |
| Adelie | Torgersen | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | 2007 |
| Adelie | Torgersen | 36.7 | 19.3 | 193 | 3450 | female | 2007 |
| Adelie | Torgersen | 39.3 | 20.6 | 190 | 3650 | male | 2007 |
As you can see, the penguins data is much more fun then
the iris data.
| Sepal.Length | Sepal.Width | Petal.Length | Petal.Width | Species |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.1 | 3.5 | 1.4 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 4.9 | 3.0 | 1.4 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 4.7 | 3.2 | 1.3 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 4.6 | 3.1 | 1.5 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 5.0 | 3.6 | 1.4 | 0.2 | setosa |
| 5.4 | 3.9 | 1.7 | 0.4 | setosa |
Visualizing the data
You can make many fun visualizations with the penguins
data set.
Using tools like ggplotly you can easily make
interactive visualizations. The plot above allows to compare bill length
vs. bill depth by species of penguins.
